    … of the flower remains on the hands of the person who gives the gift … an old Japanese proverb. The daughter of a friend is a commercial florist growing orchids and brings some to her dad periodically … I was lucky enough to be walking by and he stopped me to introduce us … she made a gift of several orchid plants and here is  photo of a few blooms on one of them. I debated between using the branch or a shot of just a single bloom … the branch won.

    I got quite a few questions tonight about the settings that I use on my flowers and to be honest I normally do not even think about it. Most of the time I use either Aperture preferred or Manual settings and make the adjustments as I view the subject matter through the lens; that way I can adjust the aperture and other settings while looking at the subject, composing the shot, and adjusting distance and angle et al so that I can see what I have got before I press the shutter release. I guess I have been doing it so long that I don’t think about it anymore. This was shot with a Canon 1D X, the 100mm macro lens. F22, 1/250th of a second and ISO 400 and of course it was hand held … so much easier to maneuver around the flower. It was shot in sun coming through the kitchen window and the flower pot was (and is) on the kitchen table.

    Was truly a fun outing tonight and I got to see some other really great work. A need to put the day to rest … it was a fun day, and hope yours was too.

    Cheers … and a few smiles too.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
